Ceniza chosen to head CFE
THE good news for Cebu Football just keep on pouring.
After the plan of the University of San Carlos to put up a world class football field, the introduction of two divisions in the Men's Open comes another news, noted youth coach Mario Ceniza is selected as one of only three coaches in the country to head the Center for Football Excellence.
Last June Ceniza, together with 40 other coaches joined the CFE Coaching Course in Bago City.
"I thought that those who joined were already selected for the CFE," Cebu Football Association president Jonathan Maximo said, "But it turned out, only three of them were selected by the Philippine Football Federation and the Asian Football Confederation."
Maximo received the confirmation last Saturday in a form of a contract between Ceniza, the CebuFA, the PFF and the AFC. The other CFEs will be in Dipolog and Dumaguete City.
"Mario Ceniza has proven himself a competent and qualified coach during the CFE coaching course," Maximo read part of the contract.
As stipulated in the agreement, Ceniza is now in charge of selecting players born in 1992-92 for the CFE, which is part of the long term plan of the PFF to provide national team mainstay tasked to win the gold in the Southeast Asian Games in 2015.
Among his duties are to recruit the city's elite U14 players for the CFE in time for the Visayas Camp later this year and the national camp next year. He is also tasked to train and develop new players.
"I think the PFF and the AFC has seen the potential of youth football in Cebu and Mario also played a big role in us being selected," Maximo said, "I also told them that the Cebu City government has also been helpful of football and in fact is willing to play abroad as far as Team Cebu City is concerned,"
Maximo plans to endorse the CFE to Cebu City Sports Commission chairman Jonathan Guardo, who has earlier promised to help the CFE and to the provincial government since Ceniza's responsibility also include players of the province.
